HonoursCQ05 - Bachelor of Information Technology (Co-op)
Program Aim
The Bachelor of Information Technology (Co-op) provides a distinguished Bachelor's degree in IT that enables students to acquire valuable experience through a paid, supervised, industry placement. Students normally undertake industry placement following the successful completion of two (2) years (four terms) of study. Industry placements are typically of six (6) months duration.
The BIT Co-op provides a solid core of IT courses with a wide choice of electives. At one extreme, a student may select all IT courses for electives; at the other extreme, a student may wish to complete a stream of courses (up to six) from another faculty. Guidance will be provided on electives that prepare students for employment in a target role. Alternatively, students may explore a range of IT courses and acquire a broadly-based range of skills and experiences.
